NFusion Conference was held May 18th at the Minneapolis Event Centers with over 100 attendees. It was wonderful to bring members back together and host our reimagined conference. All the elements: the energy, welcoming environment, and new format, along with many of the enhancements of the conference: Connector Groups, keynote Regina Carey, content focus areas (wellness, member engagement, forward thinking, and thought leadership), community building, and perfect weather all came together to make for an incredible day.

Here’s what participants had to say!

“I enjoyed the Connector Groups and opportunities to interact with peers, and the content was provocative.” “Wonderful venue, great speakers, lots of time to connect in a welcoming environment.” “Honestly, everything was top notch. Great ways to interact, great speakers, great content. Loved the [Connector] Groups at the begining and end.”
